A Bartonsville mom is having second thoughts about letting her teenage son go to movies alone with his girlfriend after what she saw Tuesday.

Candy Evans of Bartonsville was at Stroud Mall with her 18-year-old son Michael Evans to see "22 Jump Street" when they witnessed a stabbing victim being carried by two kids from the area of the Stroud Township firehouse to the food court entrance of the mall.

Evans said the victim was a young male and had been stabbed in the lower right abdomen. When the two kids carrying him lifted his shirt, he was bleeding from the area.

"I'm coming with my 18-year-old son to see a movie, and I'm thinking to myself, 'My God, I let him come here alone with his girlfriend,'" Evans said.

Evans said the incident happened around 5:50 p.m.

Stroud Area Regional Police on Tuesday night said the victim was a male who was taken to Pocono Medical Center. His name and condition were not being released as of 8 p.m. Tuesday. The emergency room was put on temporary lockdown, a routine security procedure, according to hospital spokesman Geoffrey Roche.

The suspect is a Hispanic male with a trim or short beard, who has multiple tattoos, including one on his neck.

Police were still looking for the suspect as of late Tuesday evening.

Michael Evans said that when the kids put the victim on the ground near the food court entrance that he was conscious and responsive.

Candy Evans also said there was a girl at the scene who was screaming vulgarities.
